Holy shit. That's it. It's layers.
I've been describing how my mind works recently as a car metaphor because I constantly have multiple thoughts in my head at once but everyone always says it's normal and that everyone has that but I could tell it was different for me but I couldn't find the words and then- BAM!! Layers.

So many people are WAY too cohesive and con(the word literally gone as I was typing it. what was it? I can't find it. all the words I'm thinking of now are too different to fill in its place.)
ANYWAY!
Layers. there are literal layers of thought in my mind at all times and sometimes it is harmony or kinda awesome like when I just have a cool playlist going on in the background of my mind.
